Meet Your Fort Worth Bariatric Surgery Team

BodEvolve’s bariatric surgeons brings board-certified expertise and genuine commitment to every patient’s outcome.

Dr. Brian L. Holt is a board-certified bariatric surgeon who has spent his career focused on treating severe obesity and the conditions that come with it type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea. He takes a team-based approach to patient care, working alongside nutritionists, psychologists, and support staff so that every patient has what they need to succeed long after surgery.

Dr. Clayton Frenzel is triple board-certified in bariatric and cosmetic plastic surgery, and dual fellowship-trained one of very few surgeons in the country who can guide patients through the entire transformation journey, from initial weight loss surgery through post-bariatric body contouring. His approach is deeply personal. He takes the time to understand where each patient is starting from and what they’re working toward.

Together, they’ve helped perform over 14,000 procedures across BodEvolve’s locations, with a 98% patient satisfaction rate. BodEvolve is also accredited by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) as a Center of Excellence a designation that reflects the program’s standards for safety, outcomes, and ongoing patient support.

Weight Loss Programs in Fort Worth

Not every patient is ready for surgery, and not every patient needs it. BodEvolve offers both surgical and non-surgical weight loss programs for Fort Worth patients depending on where you are in your journey and what your health situation calls for.
Your first step is a consultation where Dr. Holt or Dr. Frenzel reviews your medical history, current health, BMI, and goals. From there, the team builds a plan that fits you whether that’s a supervised medical weight loss program, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, or a more comprehensive bariatric intervention. There’s no pressure and no predetermined path.

Bariatric Surgery Options

Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Fort Worth

Gastric sleeve is our most commonly performed procedure and a strong option for patients with a BMI of 35 or above. The surgery removes roughly 80% of the stomach, which reduces hunger hormones and limits how much food you can comfortably eat. Most patients lose between 60–70% of their excess weight within the first 12-18 months. Recovery is typically 2-4 weeks before returning to normal activity.

Gastric Bypass Surgery in Fort Worth

Gastric bypass is often recommended for patients with a BMI over 40 or those dealing with serious obesity-related conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or severe acid reflux. It works by creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting part of the small intestine, which limits both how much you eat and how many calories your body absorbs. Patients typically see 70–80% excess weight loss, along with significant improvement or complete resolution of type 2 diabetes in many cases.

Duodenal Switch Surgery in Fort Worth

For patients dealing with severe obesity, the duodenal switch is often the most powerful option on the table. It’s not the right fit for everyone it’s a more involved surgery that combines stomach reduction with intestinal bypass but for the right patient, the results are remarkable. Most people lose a higher percentage of excess weight with this procedure than with any other bariatric surgery, and conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure often improve significantly within months of surgery. Dr. Holt and Dr. Frenzel will be straightforward with you about whether you’re a good candidate during your consultation.

SADI-S Surgery in Fort Worth

SADI-S follows a similar principle to the duodenal switch but uses a single intestinal connection rather than two, which makes the surgery somewhat less complex while still delivering strong, lasting weight loss. If you need significant results and want the metabolic benefits of the duodenal switch without the full complexity of the traditional procedure, SADI-S is worth discussing with your surgeon.

Revision Weight Loss Surgery in Fort Worth

Previous bariatric surgery that didn’t deliver the results you hoped for or weight that’s crept back over the years doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Revision surgery is more nuanced than a first-time procedure, and it genuinely requires a surgeon with experience handling the unexpected. Both Dr. Holt and Dr. Frenzel have worked with many revision patients and understand that these cases need careful evaluation, not a rushed decision.

Non-Surgical Weight Loss in Fort Worth

Surgery isn’t the starting point for everyone, and it doesn’t need to be. BodEvolve’s medical weight management program is designed for patients who want a physician-guided path to weight loss without going into an operating room whether that’s because surgery isn’t right for them yet, or simply isn’t what they want. The program includes nutritional counseling, metabolic testing, lifestyle support, and medication management where it makes sense. Some patients use it as a standalone program. Others use it as a bridge while they prepare for surgery. Either way, you’re working with a medical team, not guessing on your own.

What the Process Actually Looks Like

We hear from a lot of people who have said they were hesitant to make the call because they weren’t sure what they were getting into. So, let’s walk you through what the process is like.

Initial Consultation

• Review of your health history, current conditions, and your BMI
• Explanation of what procedures you’re a candidate for and why

Pre-Surgical Requirements

• Nutritional, psychological, and medical clearance processes
• For insurance patients, this is a 4 to 12-week process, depending on your insurance plan
• Self-pay patients, however, may be able to move through this process much more quickly

Post-Surgery Follow-Up

• Our long-term support is not an afterthought – it’s actually part of the package from day one. 

Our follow-up schedule is at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
